Is it possible to study overseas or have co-op industrial experiences as an undergraduate?
Yes. Civil Engineering students have spent either a semester or a year abroad in countries such as Australia, Japan, South Africa or Switzerland. The College of Engineering has a long-standing exchange program with the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland. The availability of seven free elective courses in the undergraduate curriculum gives considerable flexibility for overseas study. For co-op industrial experiences, students can undertake internships over the summers or opt for a semester and summer combined industrial internship. However, these longer co-op experiences will delay graduation.
